In this case having the const or not actually doesn't matter to the
compiler as we have a typedef'd structure pointer and thus the const is
meaningless.  However, from a documentation standpoint I agree that the
const should be removed.

I'm actually thinking we should get rid of the typedef struct pointers
so that we can actually use const correctly and have it enforced by the
compiler.  However, this would break existing user code.

Yeah good idea, but again not enforced by the compiler unless we ditch
typedef struct pointer.  Which we can do for this newly created structure.

I had a simple little C program to try this code out, but I haven't
created a test case.  I wanted to see if this approach would be
acceptable to everyone before I go ahead and create the python bindings
and add this to the unit test case.

Zdenek, you appear good with this patch (except for a few minor
changes), how about everyone else?

Thanks,
Tony
